SFPC' rejects AHEC·'s proposal . by Richard Bellizzj

•

The Student Facilities Policy Council Friday voted to not send its chair and vice chair to participate in a special five-member committee formed by AHEC Executive Director Jerry W_artgow to examine the current structures of the SFPC and the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board. ~ The vote came in response to Wartgow's charge that the special committee "evaluate the current organiza!ional relationships, roles and responsibilities of the SFPC . - and SACAB." . W artgow designated as chair of the ~pecial committee Tom Hanna, UCD Executive Council president, and asked him to meet with the chair and vice chair of ' the SFPC and SACAB. In a memorandum, Wartgow told Hanna that based upon the .committee's evaluations, it should "prepare its recommendations for ... · the Auraria Board of Directors (to be transmitted via the Executive Committee) . concerning whether

changes should be inade to ·the current structure" of both advisory bodies. The Executive Committee is comprised of the chief executive from UCD, MSC and CCD-A. The attempt to establish the special committee comes after a controversial decision by the SFPC to re-allocate space from

enough information to make a responsible decision. W artgow argued the SFPC did have the authority to make the decision. · SFPC members F'riday expressed concern over AHEC' s desire to put the advisory boards under scrutiny when many of the members feel they are operating

At that meeting, MSC President Richard Fontera contended the SFPC did not have the authority to re-allocate space which was originally designated as the Health Clinic's, and that while he believes the SFPC acted in good faith, it did not have

according to guidelines. · Joyce Parks, CCD,.A Student Activities Director and administrative representative on the.

"We have too many responsibilities; if we let them (AHEC) impact us, we won't be able to do

Tad Millard, SACAB chairman and ex-officio member of the SFPC, sees the special committee as "purely for communication purposes." · "There is good communication," Parks responded, "you're giving a lot of validity to something that is not a problem." Gina Johnson, MSC's administrative representative, expressed her interpretation of Wartgow's attempt to form the committee. · ''This smacks of Daddy scolding the kiddies,•• Jol)nson said.

011LEd Students should speak-their minds. Callinll: all students! Recent events (MSC-AHEC feud, "creeping merger", etc) compel us to again sound the clarion of involvement. With all interest (vested and invested) in the Auraria campus, issues are arising and being dealt with by the various campus advisory boards. As representatives of students, faculty and administration, these boards make decisions which have affected, and will affect, everyone of us who work, study and/ or park here. You can be certain administration is well represented on these boards; too much money is involved for it not to be. Faculty, too, are we.p erganized in an attempt to protect their interests. While students come and go, albeit some more slowly than others, faculty have been known to exist at colleges such as ours for decade aftel' decade. If you bother to · investigate where your tuition money goes after you manage to part with it, you'll notice a chunk designated for student fees. Student activities, the child pare center, intramural and recreation services, student government and legal services

are just a few of the areas funded by student fees. The Student Center is also operated by student fees. The Student Facilities Policy Council (perhaps you've heard of it) is the body designated to make decisions involving the Student Center, bookstore, the Mercantile Restaurant and student-funded lounges. The people on the SFPC represent, theoretically, students and administration. When the SFPC voted to switch food service companies, students were up in arms, claiming their preferences and opinions weren't being represented. The Auraria Board of Directors then reversed the decision, or recommendation, and kept the original company in the Student Center. When Health Clinic space was taken away and given to the bookstore, some students raised some objection. However, it was the MSC administratio~, not students, which argued loudest and longest with AHEC over the legality of the decision. After the food service controversy, SFPC student representatives said they need to hear more from students about what they want done in the Student Center.

Surely the many students now being turned away from the health clinic would now, at least, prefer the space had not been taken from the clinic. With the ultimate development of Tivoli, student concerns will increase, at least they should. The special committee AHEC Executive DJ.rector Jerry Wartgow tried to form was to have been an attempt to put some organization into what AHEC perceives to, be a disorganized situation. . What appears to be the situation is student representatives are having to make decisions based on very little student input, which leaves them open to criticism when such decisions result in unpopular circumstances. There are many issues, old and new ,'that are being dealt with constantly, issues that affect students in some way or another. If you have any interest at all in what is happening to your student fees, contact your student government representatives to find out what is going on. They will be able to inform you and will be more than happy to hear what Y<?U have to say about it. 0

MSC constitution being redone Student Bqdy Presidential Report Fellow Students, Just like to say that I hope you all had a good vacation. I know for seme people, myself included, no vacation is quite long enough. Your new student government has been working hard for you over the break. We worked with Student Affairs and the Student Affairs Committee to make the Student Support Program (emergency loans) more workable. Student Support has its office in Room 255E of the Student Center. The Director, Steve Shepherd, is on hand from 2 to 4 p.m. each day to review and process applications. The Student Curriculum Committee and the Student Affairs Committee, along with the executive branch, are in the process of re-doing our constitution. Any student with an interest in reviewing the_constitution who would like to help can meet in Room 341D of the Student Center at noon on Fridays. We are working with Student Activities and reorganizing in order to get more students involved with events on .campus. If you would like to help on the events councils or the Student Program Council. see me, Brendan, in Room 341C of the Student Center, or contact Student Activities. Please bring any suggestions that you may have f6r better use of student fees toward events to our attention. MSC varsity sports needs your help. The track team is looking "for anyone and everyone who is interested in track and field events, especially field events, highjump, long-jump, triple-jump or polevault. Anyone interested should meet with Fred Tedesco or Brian Janssen at the east entrance of the Physical Education Building on any day at 2 p.m. or call 629-3154, 238-3154, 238-4275 or 238-5593. ASMSC is forming a rugby team, and we are looking for both playing as well as social members. We will be playing collegiate as well as city teams. Home teams sponsor a party after each contest; it's a great way to meet people. The first organizational meeting/party

will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. in Room 330A&B in the Student Center. Free beer. As a special feature the 1980 International Match between the Wel.Sh and the New Zealand All Black Nationals will be shown. Anyone with the desire to develop and maintain a high degree of fitness as well as party, be there! Contact Brendan Kelly at 269-3253 or_693-7836.

On Friday, that's this Friday January 28, from 12 to 4 p.m., your Student Government will be throwing a "Back to School Bash" in'the Mission. Let's start the semester off right. See you there. Your Elected Rep, . Brendan Kelly Vice-President ASMSC

Take my place .in the soup line, Ron ':t

·1

Editor, Our president supposes that a big enough lie, told loudly and often enough, can encourage us or the way to write the history of his administration. It is no longer weful to hear his constant castigation of the Congres,,, Democrats, Perrier, plaid colors or Nissan. His administration is the scourge of our dreams. Now we know what "voodoo" economics is all about, and into whom the pins have unfortunately been stuck. What is he doing for us, other than reintroducing us to the reality of the Phillips curve? I don't believe he can care about the unemployed - after all, most of his friends are working. How can any one person be 10 percent unemployed? How long can Mr. Reagan's favorite want ads (those only for PhD.'s and those who can afford to work for three dollars an hour) keep returning regrets or, more often, the discourtesy of no

·'

response at all? This is what he does to us. ..__ I would rather have 20 percent inflation and be working and solvent. But maybe there isn't any use I cannot qualify for a new cardboard hol;lSe until/ unless I make $60,000 a year; and who wants to spend ten thousand on a plastic car that fails as often as not? The pointlessness is not the point, however. It is the · determined stance against reality taken by this administration. Those who know might tell you that the real unemployment rate is closer to 15 percent. There are many who have given u'p; many who have gone back to school to get that PhD. for the want ads; many whose "benefits" have run out; m~y who are too proud to go "on the dole"; and·just maybe the rest make up the true "structural" unemployment in what used to p~ for an economy.

Expecting mismanaged, shortsighted, debt-ridden, self-serving, narrow-minded corporations to help the common man is a 1776 pipe dream. Cutting government outlays means cutting government revenues. Herbert Hoover taught us that. · Just where is this expected "recovery" to originate? Whom do producers expect to buy their wares if they dQ.. not hire and pay people? The most disgusting thing these past two years is not the president's evident intellectual bias, it is his air parent moral blindness. I hope, when I offer him my place in the soup lines, that he may at least and at last learn something of compassion and contrition. It is growing far too late to hope for his competence. .

They are not who they appear to be. Sheepishly, they admit that there is someone else in there, someone I will have to meet and make friends with anew. If my original acquaintance is a sober, hardworking, career-minded individual, sooner or later he or she will introduce me to some other self; an artist, adventurer, or radical. If my original friendship developed with a radical, it's only a matter of time until they produce a boozy confession that in reality they are Executive Marketing Vice-President for Mobil Oil.

I hope, over the next few weeks, that fll be able to demonstrate that apathy is nothing more than fashion, like an expensive cologne from Vidal S~oon. It washes off easily. Since repressed dreams, like rep!essed sex, are strong and even violent, this column is more likely to appeal to the emotional and volatile side of your nature, and should not be read on full moons.

Most of us don't nurture our dreams expecting them to grow into some full-blowti reality. We feed them just enough to keep them alive. Like the stunted little trees called Bonsai, our dreams are beautiful, but just a little gnarled and twisted. The quesiton is: Why would anyone want to grow a tree in a teacup? The answer is somewhere in the secret lives of people.

Eeature Denver's National Western Stock Show.and Âˇ~ by Bill Kindleberger

Yup, the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo was back in town. "Stock" meaning cows and such. I'll have to admit, I don't know squat about cows. Milk, right? I'd be better off with the horses and bulls of the.rodeo.

I rode a horse once, back when I was a kid. It plugged into the wall and cost a dime. I managed to stay on it for three or four seconds. I've seen a live horse off the highway, a mile or so in the distanee. At least, I think it was a horse. As for the bull, read on. There was a smell of excitement in the air as the rodeo was soon to begin. There were a lot of other smells in the air, too, reminiscent of barns, farms, and zoos. Which, combined with awe, forced me to breathe through the mouth for the first few events. The first event was bareback bronc riding. A later event was billed as saddle bronc riding. Obviously, two ways to ride a bronc. For me - no way. Riding a bronc appears to be an acquired ~aste; it's not for everyone. Though bareback and saddle bronc riding appear similar, the skills required for each are varied. One item hi particular, however, is characteristic of both - the horse does not want excess

ty of eight seconds.

The judges score both the rider and the horse - the rider for skill and spur movement, the horse for gall and downright orneriness. For the steer wrestling competition, Âˇ1 was expecting something along the lines of gladiator-style entertainment. Man warily circling steer, waiting for the most opportyne moment to get a grip on hoof or horn, then pinning the beast to the dirt, both shoulders touching. The concept wasn't far off. The event begins with two riders positioned behind a barrier. The steer charges from the chute, the riders give pursuit, keeping their horses parallel to hold the steer on a straight path l>E?tween them. One rider then leaps from the horse onto the steer's back. grabbing the horns and wrestling it to the ground. (In case anyone would like to try this with two trucks and a motorcycle, the horse is travelling at a speed of about thirty .miles an hour.) Some of the steers will stop short right out of the chute, while the riders go

Roping an entire team of horseswould be an ominous spectacle. Imagine the size of the lasso. In the calf roping event, I felt for the calf. Escaping to freedom, it is chased down by a cowboy twirling a rope, and in a matter of seconds - gag - the calf is being hung like a horse thief from the gallows, only horizontally. Then comes the added humiliation of having three of its legs hog-tied, the fourth left dangl-

ing, to wave at the crowd perhaps. Forgetting the plight of the calf for a moment, the contestant's skill lies in an accurate eye to rope the fleeing, horrified, innocent animal around its neck, then be quick about tying the unfortunate beast's legs together. The horse is an integral part of success, as it must keep tension on the rope to prevent the victimized calf from gettfng up and running off, which in all likelihood it is striving to do. Fear not, the announcer assured the crowd, no harm would come to the calf as a result of being roped. (Maybe he ought to try it sometime.)

pound bad-tempered bull bearing down with a vengeance. Yo, we're having some fun, now! Send in the clowns. Damn right! Rodeo clowns can be a bull rider's salvation. Their job consists of distracting the bull by providing it with a substitute target - themselves. Not an enviable occupation. The athletes of the rodeo are individuals possessed of skill, strength, en-

A few slight differences occur in size (some bulls weigh up to a ton) and temperament. A bull is n<;>t satisfied with having the rider off its back, it tends to want to search and destroy. I can't fathom anything more prone to incite mental trauma than a two-thousand-

durance and guts. They live a lifestyle most people dream or have nightmares about. Not everyone can be a cowbo'y. Not everyone wants to be. The clowns, riders, wrestlers, and ropers are off to another rodeo, good luck to them. I'm off to take a look at the livestock. Is that a cow? Yup. Honk, honk. 0

Team roping was not an event to rope a team of horses. Still, it was not disappointing. Two ropers chase after a steer, ropes flying. The first roper, call~ ed the "header", loops his rope over the· steer's horns. The second roper, called the "heeler", must .then direct his loop under the steer's hind legs, yanking and -.c. tightening them both together. The two riders then swing to, face each other, leaving the steer in a position to be drawn and quartered. , They dorit do that, however, as the contestants have an honest concern for the animals they are working with. I There is also a necessary respect inherent in the sport. A thrown bronc rider who is not leery of the danger a bucking bronc poses to his well-being has no business in the arena. (And probably won't live long, either.) The respect is not always mutual. Such is the mind of the Brahma.bull. Bull riding is done strictly bareback. I guess it must be extremely difficult (certainly foolhearty) to slap a saddle on a

Mayor Bernie McMenamy, an 11-year local, comments on tourists from a political point of view. His priority for tourists is to give them an enjoyable experience, to entertain them with ski shops and restaurants. He realizes hts obligation and intends · to cater to tourists by providing services like parking, security facilities and lunchrooms. McMenamy explains that before tourists came, the town of Breckenridge consisted of 200 people who were scratching for a living. The year 1950 saw a few- people mining Climax and a few county workers. "Without tourists and something to attract them it would go back to that," McMenamy said. Kit Doser has lived in Breckenridge, Frisco and now lives in Dillon. Her comments include local reaction to tourists: "I don't have that view that they're turkeys; most of them have families," Doser said. "I paven't seen that loud, vulgar side that a lot of people &ee. Tourists support the county... and we all can't come from here." Services and goods are for tourists, ac-

cording to Doser, but she sees shopkeepers acting like vultures to finance their one or two month vacation. , . "I would like to see it be simple again, not glistening, . garish and greedy," Doser stressed. "There seems to be this incredible need to put on a front to at1_ tract tourists."

"Without tourists I'd still be pitching "hay at 40 below zero," Knorr said. ~ Knorr contends that people race in a mad rush to mediocrity, to 7-11, to Holiday Inns. This is partially a resJJ.lt of the wilderness area. ('Here I am, make me have fun'). "One reason that skiing is so popular as recreation is because of the ease,"

Doser thinks personal relationships ire much deeper. She likes the small population which shows you matter. "It's almost like to survive you have to care about each other," Doser said.

"Close relationships aren't any different, but I think there are probably more casual relationships." - According to McClelland, people are a lot less paranoid and more eager to smile at others because there is less crime. Newkirk knows he can walk up to Bernie McMenamy and tell him what he \.'hinks and to to the town meeting, while in Denver it would take six weeks to get on the agenda. Williams agrees. "In a small town or a small community, the average businessman has the opportunity to participate in city government," Williams said. "I am a member of the Board of Directors in the Chamber of Commerce and I ran for County Commissioner on an independent ticket and lost by only 600 votes." Lannan doesn't see much difference in relationships because people are people. • "Locals come here with attitudes of where they come from;" Lannan said, "they bring what they came with, they come here and maintain.

As a result, specific events were organized to stress the importance of the contributing minority in American society. On Feb. 1, in celebration of Black History Month - an annual event designed to enhance the contributions made by black societal members, the Art and Afro-American Studies Departments at MSC will present an exhibition of contemporary work at the Emmanuel Gallery. Under the direction of Francis Sprout, a painter and associate professor of art at MSC, the showing, entitled "S.P.L.l.B.S." or "Selected Personal Looks Into Black Subjects,., will include works of painting, fa bric and photography to honor the achievements and contributions made by the Black American. Joining Sprout will be four other Denver artists including Doris Davis, painter; Charles Gray, photographer; Jon Howe, painter; and Pamela Phox, fiber artist. According to Sprout, the art exhibition is just one example of the different presentations that will be held nationwide during February, Black History Month. Some events i,nclude lectures and public forums conducted by black individuals who have excelled in the · - field of education. Included in this year's showing at Auraria, Sprout explained, will be both "conventional and installa\ion pieces." The "conventional piece,. will illustrate contemporary art while the "installation piece" will describe the black experience throughout American history. "An installation piece," Sprout said, " is something that you put up as an idea for a specific space at a specific time." Besides his own contributions, Sprout and his fellow artists will display a communal installation piece representing the history of the Black American. The piece will consist of a pyramid of boxes equaling the .26 letters of the alphabet, plus two extra boxes for the base. Each box will display a letter of the alphabet with words relating to the black experience.

In addition, Sprout asked each artist to oontribute one installation piece. Fiber artist Pamela Phox said she designed . her installation piece using "symbols of my interpretation of the black experience in America. "My art does not reflect blackness," she said. "My art reflects my life as a human being." Phox said she hopes her art will create either positive or negative reactions from her audiences. "We're not trying to change a person's ideas," she said. "I want people to think." Jon Howe, a painter whose work Sprout describes as a "social commentary" also relates his art to personal experience. His ' nstallation painting describes a specific type qf theme, he said. "It deals with what's happening in the world - with the black world - with my world being America," he said. Howe added that he wants people to enjoy his art as they would anything else. ''I'd like people to like the work in the same way they'd like a good movie or a good book - but learn something from it," he said. "It's not something that I'd like to slap in the faces of whites." Although Sprout admitted he had not always designed installation or conceptual pieceli, most, if not all, his work now includes this theme . "I want to make the savage noble," Sprout said: "Es.wntially, we have this tradition of the noble savage in the western United States which relates to the native American and the .kind of relationship that the encroaching Anglo culture had with those individuals." Sprout explained that i n ¥t the "noble savage" becomes an image foreign to the white race and that the American black has not been able to enjoy some of the same things as his white counterpart. "It's my effort at this juncture in history to establish a prototype for 'the other 'noble savage' coming from Africa," Sprout said.

Pamela Phox ; Jon Howe (foreground) and Francis Sprout. ~ By combi_ning the caricatures of the black Samba image and the Zaire bushmonster figure, Sprout hopes to 'il-lustrate the "evil or unlcnown forces" between the two models. "A bushmonster is used to externalize those things that are not understood," Sprout said, "while the Samba is an image of a simplistic black person." Sprout explained the two persons are unfamiliar to each other because "no person looks like that." i Currently, Sprout said, he wants ~o provide youngsters with pbsitive images throughout their developing years. He said he realizes he will not be able to change adult attitudes and opinions, and that this is not his intent. 'Tm not trying to educate," Sprout said. "I'm simply going to reflect that which is a black experience and my experience." The exhibition will be held from February I through 11 at the Emmanuel Gallery on the Auraria campus. Galle?Y hours are 11:00 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday tlirough Friday. A slide presentation will be shown by the artists on Tuesday, Feb. I from 5 to 8 p ..m. The slides chosen by the group will reflect each artist's personal view of family, friends and his creative life. 0

Streep authentic· as-'· Sophie ..,.

,,. "Sophie's Choice" Directed by Alan J. Pakula Starring Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline and Peter MacNicol William Styron's popular novel, "Sophie's Choice" has been adapted into a movie directed by Alan J. Pakula. The movie has a cast of Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline and Peter MacNicol. •

Sti11go, a young novelist, has just moved to Brooklyn from his sheltered life in the South. He may get more than he bargained for as Sophie confides in him about her past. Kevin Kline takes the role of Nathan, Sophie's deranged lover. He adds a sense of uncertainty to every scene he is in. Kline gives an exceptional performance in an almost impossible role.

Streep plays a stunnmg performance _... in her role as Sophie, a Polish Catholic survivor of Auschwitz. Streep is ideal for the part of Sophie. • Her look throughout the movie and the . authenticity of her Polish accent only adds to the plot. .F The movie is narrated by Stingo (Peter MacNicol), a Southem writer who has just moved into the Brooklyn apartment house of Sophie and her Jewish American boyfriend, Nathan (Kevin Kline). The year is 1947. Sophie begins to unveil her haunting past in conversation and flashbacks to Stingo.

The two-and-a-half hour movie has an intense core and would welcome a comical situation. Stingo's encounter' with a .Jewish girl introduced by Nathan, Leslie Lapidus, just d~n't quite do it. The comical situation is overlooked as the audience is quickly reminded that the movie is as depressing as it is descriptive.' -

' "Sophie's Choice" is now playing at Cherry Creek, Villa Italia, Southglenn and Northglenn. Luann Sobeck
